Without doubt, this coming night is the night for the kids! Three Kings come bearing gifts for those who have behaved well and allegedly coal for which they have behaved badly ! The children eagerly await their arrival and restless sleep a night like this for, early in the morning, to discover their expected gifts!
Who are the Magi?
My dear 10 year old daughter just found out who they really are the Magi. Not because I do not suspect or did not know, we know we've all had that friend sneak broadcasting " his secret" among his classmates and friends, but because until last year I expected it to be his father , who ratified it, despite inquiries and investigations that she carried out to verify the rumor that ran between their classmates! And is that only see what we see and, otherwise, we need evidence very strong to accept the new reality, like it or not what we see in it!
Christmas star
is no doubt that the biblical story of the Magi from the East has some metaphorical for our own life, children or adults. The Star of Christmas, with apologies, I think Punset and others and will be looking for irrefutable scientific evidence of its existence, to write his new bestseller, allegedly led the famous people from the remotest corners of the world, through remote deserts and the cold and dark night! And I think everyone, at one time or another of our life, we have that star watches us and guides us in our journey! But the supposed star was not wearing a golden tail behind it to identify among the myriad stars that inhabit the sky. Our star, the kind that comes on suddenly and without warning, look no further than the others, and their presence is constant ... but is at a given time, shows us something we learn, we may push a bit and, in many cases, disappears into the sky, until the next time we need it. If it is a situation we call "chance " if a person is, however, appears subtly, perhaps with his disguise of ordinary people, unknown and normally, smiling ...
The Kings bring gifts
many years ago since I wrote my letter to Santa. Moreover, I do not remember when was the last I wrote, apart from my daughter, of course! Probably because I never got too many gifts or because I realized that I brought what they wanted! The truth is that, over the years, I learned to wait a few gifts or ask for things that were difficult to transport by some old men from the East with their camels! Called love, suffering and peace to me ... and all around me! But later I understood that both love and suffering, such as peace, were part inherent in life and in any case, depended more on me than anyone else, even if they were some magicians ! The love, the suffering or peace out to meet me everyday in every decision, every step that I took in my life! And it was not always able to choose one of them because his life was the one who decided to offer one or the other ... I could only take effect or, at most, try to understand its meaning in my own life! At the end, I learned that my best gift of Magi was getting what they were getting, trust sense and feel satisfied by deserve!
My true gift
should probably admit that the real gift I receive each year is to be alive and well, accept my strengths and weaknesses, to thank for everything I am and everything I have in my life, my ability to see and smiling to life-is as-creating magical moments, discover and enjoy unique moments of each place as if it were unique! I hope that your
Kings bring you what you bring to live a full life, which deserve and always with a sense!
